Cannot uninstall Dreamweaver CS4

I'm about to install Dreamweaver CS6 on my MacBook Pro (OSX version 10.9.4) and am trying to uninstall Dreamweaver CS4. I keep getting a dialog box stating "Startup Error Required files are missing." What to do? Should I simply drag all CS4 related files and folders to the trash?

Thanks Ken,
I think the essential problem is that I have no idea where the CS4 installation discs might be. Without them, all I’ve got at this point are useless aliases.
I tried the cleaner tool but with no success. I’ll keep searching and thanks again for your help.

Cannot open Dreamweaver CS4 in Mac OS 10.9.4

When I try to open my copy of Dreamweaver CS4 on my iMac with OS 10.9.4 I get the following alert:
Licensing for this product has stopped working.
This product has has (sic) encountered a problem which requires
that you restart your computer before it can be launched.
If you continue to see this message after restarting your
computer, please contact either your IT administrator or Adobe
technical support for help, and mention the error code shown

Error: 150:30
I contacted tech support and they said that my Dreamweaver was too old for them to offer support
and that I should try the Forums.
Help! I just need to correct one small bit of text, and I cannot see buying a newer version to do such a small thing.

That is not the same situation. I had the same error today after restoring a Time Machine backup on a new drive. I'm using Os 10.8.5 and CS4 worked just fine with it before the restoration. Here is some help...which so far hasn't worked for me, but it might work for you. ;-)

Cannot Uninstall Dreamweaver CS3

I could not uninstall Dreamweaver using Windows XP "Remove Programs". When I click "Remove" nothing would happen, so I tried running the Adobe Clean Up utility.
Then when I clicked "Remove", it said it had already been removed and asked if I wanted to remove it from the list. I did. Now I don't know how to uninstall it.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Doug Collins

Hello Doug Collins,
maybe I list here wellknown examples how to remove programs (my hints are translated from my German WIN):
Adobes remove program: As we can see it "means" all is deleted. So you should have a look at
Windows Control Panel (Systemsteuerung): Because of above, presumably also unsuccessful.
File manager: Search in your Adobe directory for your CS3, maybe there are remaining some files of it. And after that go to
WIN regedit.exe (the sledgehammer approach): If DW has clearly left its mark, you will find them there. Use search function, BUT be careful by deleting. in any case save your regedit first!
Good luck!

Help cannot get dreamweaver cs4 to re install error 1603

My dreamweaver suddenly stopped working one day when I turned my computer on so I reinstalled it and got error 1603 tried all the things suggested in the Adobe files and from adaobe support. ran cs4 clean script anybody any ideas?

Yes I will give them a call
It came up with the licence for me to agree too ( which was strange ) when I opened it and when I agreed it just stopped - tried a few times rebooted my computer so thought I would re install it. I have been communicating by email with the support guys but they keep telling me to do the same thing- look at the link you have given me.
Thanks for your help

Cannot open Dreamweaver in Snow Leopard

I have a MacBook (alum 2009) that I just changed out the hard drive (the original failed). At the same time I installed Snow Leopard 10.6 on the new drive. Ever since I cannot open Dreamweaver CS4 (or Photoshop CS3 for that matter). I get a 150.30 error code having to do with the licensing failing. I contacted Customer Service and have had NO help sent my way that has solved the problem. It seams the tech support people have no clue.
Can anyone out there help me with this problem?
The latest help sent to me by tech support is the following. It did not work and seems to be for Leopard 10.4 or 10.5:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html

Thanks Snakeyez02.
I did have the drive replaced under warranty. The Apple Dealer I went to allowed me to upgrade my old 250gb drive to a Western Digital 320gb (of course charging me the difference in price). I had backed up all the data on my old drive on a Time Machine. I purchased the Family pack of Snow Leopard and did a clean install on the new drive. I then restored my data from the Time Machine.
This is when I could not use DW and PS. Both give the same error message ( 150.30: see below ) and then the program shuts down. I tried to call Adobe Support and gave up after being put on hold for two 1/2 hour attempts. BTW, I have Acrobat 8 and it works just fine on the new setup.
I then went the on-line route and am in the process of talking back and forth with some guy that can barely write English. Adobe's support is beginning to frustrate me!
I am using the most current install from Adobe (from a download) and am using a new password given to me by Adobe Support. I have done all the things given in the Knowledge Base article linked in my original post. And I have fixed Permissions in Apple's Disk Utility. All with out luck.
I will upgrade SL to 10.6.1 and see if that works, but I do not have confidence that it will. I feel that somewhere on my computer is an old DW file that will not go away when I uninstall the program (yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times using both AppZaper and DW's uninstall program).
Any thoughts??
p.s. Adobe has always had a terrible licensing system from day one. I have been a loyal customer for over a decade, but I am really getting tired of their restrictive licensing that punishes those who pay for their programs.

Unable to Uninstall Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4

it's been a couple of days since i tried out Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4 to see how they compare to the CS3 versions, it worked fine and all till suddenly it stopped working, so i been trying to uninstall/reinstall to get it working under the free trial limit i still have left (27 days as of this writing) it still will not work.
Sometimes i would install Photoshop/Dreamweaver and say an error occurred and some components were unable to install and would be unable to load the file even after doing what the instructions say...
Same goes for when i try to uninstall both Photoshop/Dreamweaver, i would try to uninstall and would still remain in my program files...
I am completely stumped on what to do, i can't even re-install photoshop/dreamweaver cs3 as well due to this...
I am running on Vista 32bit SP1 Pack on HP Pavilion, i want to completely get rid of CS4 versions and go back to my reliable CS3 again, any help please would be greatly appreciated.
Kantori

John... if you read what I said you would of caught that i did do it:
"did what was suggested, worked like a charm for the CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 but although it did work on Photoshop CS4. it did something i was dumbfounded to see, it did something odd in which it took out the Uninstall/Change tab option for removing programs (I was viewing it to see if it uninstalled completely) also it brought out a bunch of programs that weren't in that section before and was unable to uninstall/remove them.
So i had to do a system restore point to go back and try again. After doing it two more times (ya two!) still doesn't work, i am 7 hours into trying to resolve this... sigh. "
At that time i said i had done it 2 times, 3 in total, i am on try #6 all with the same results with the exact after effects once i restart my PC.
Here's what it does to tell what goes on:
1) after installing microsoft's cleaner then opening up the cs4 cleaner under admin, it does its thing, it asks me if i wish to remove Flash Player 10 after choosing remove Photoshop CS4, now here i done both remove Flash Player and not remove it with the same results, losing the uninstall/change option on the control panel, which frustrates me.
2) After seeing that i try to install Photoshop CS4 again, once its done, i open it up, try to go to the trial option where as i stated previously says there's an error and can't open the trial page which would open up Photoshop completely but since it can't i cannot go beyond that window.
3) So ya... i try ONCE again to do it all over after restarting and SAMETHING! no uninstall/change option appearing and unable to open up Photoshop CS4 in which i resort to doing a system restore again and trying once more.
NOW, one would think that after the first 3 times it should be working properly, i mean I thought it would after removing both Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 it's bound to do the same for Photoshop CS4, but it doesn't completely create a "FREASH" install. It's like it still remembers what messed up functions it still had and what's up with it removing the uninstall/change option? that just bogles my mind.
i tried many things, re-downloading the trial from adobe, etc i never would of thought just one program could cost me so much wasted time just to get it working and it's a free trial nonetheless so excuse me John Joslin if your remark kind of bugs me, I need some assistance/advice on trying to correct this problem, not a
"It should have done!
Run it a few times. "
comment that's already common knowledge for me in what I have already been doing long before your post.

Cannot re-install Dreamweaver CS4

Two weeks ago I had a problem with my Windows XP Pro installation and had to "repair" the OS installation. After the repair everything that I had installed on this machine worked fine, save Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver would open but gave me nothing but a blank gray screen.
Assuming that an uninstall followed by a re-install would solve the problem, I proceeded to do just that. Boy, was I ever wrong. Two weeks later and about 40 hours of trying everything and everything that Adobe had to offer, I'm no closer to a working system than I was two weeks ago.
When I attempt to install the system, the installation process hangs at about 90% of the "Checking system" bar and never even gets to the actual installation phase. Inasmuch as I had it up and running for more than four months prior to Win XP crashing, I know the machine is capable of handling the system.
I have tried all 10 of the "suggestions" that Adobe makes regarding this problem. I have tried uninstalling everything Adobe on the machine, from Flash Player to Acrobat. I have run the CS5CleanupScript, which, if you follow the instructions and uninstall the product first, doesn't do squat, because (you guessed it) the Adobe product has been removed and the cleanup utility can't find it. Calling Tech Support is a joke, as after waiting an hour or so, all you get is some Indian or Philippino whos English is limited to "You must pray $39.00 prease".
I have searched every file on my computer and have uninstalled and/or deleted each and every file that contains anything referring to Adobe, Dreamweaver, CS4 and/or CS5. I have also done the same with the Windows registry, searching and removing any and all references to Dreamweaver. I still cannot get past the startup installation screen.
I have copied the CD onto my hard drive and attempted an installation from there with no success. I have tried it with a new user; I have tried it with each of the three Windows "Safe" modes. Absolutely nothing I do will re-install this product. I paid good money for this and even though CS5 is now available, I believe that I should still be able to use waht I paid for six months ago.
Can anyone give me any hint as to how to get Dreamweaver to install? Thanks for any help.

Knowing that you did all the clean tools and everything else, the only logical explanation left is that there is still a lingering problem in your OS installation. How exactly did you "repair" Windows XP? Did you do a complete re-install of the operation system or some other function. That might shed some light on possible problems and solutions.

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
Mac OS 10.8.5
None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works! Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
Of course I saw that menu item "Import" and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same: "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

Cannot play MP3 files in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi
Apogogies if this has been asked before.
I have an embedded MP3 file on one of my DWCS4 pages but when I try to play it from the Properties Inspector I get the message "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type".
The sound file plays OK in Firefox and IE but I would like to be able to test it in DW. I have the currrent version of Apple QuickTime Pro installed.
I am using both Windows XP and Vista with the same problem.
Is there a plug I can download for DW only in order to play these files without resorting to converting the MP3 to another format.
Any help would be much appreicated.
Thanks
George

Yes but I did exactly what I accused you of doing so it was really bad!
Software troubles can drive you a bit crazy. Sorry again.

Hi
Thank you for the apology, but as we have all (probably), misread and
therefore wrongly replied to posts, it is not really necessary.

Win 7 cannot uninstall or reinstall CS4

Tried to reinstall CS4 shortly after original install. When it finished uninstalling, it came up with an error message saying that the program didnt uninstall properly and tells me to "read below for details". There is no information given "below", it just stops there. Upon trying the uninstall again after that, the uninstall bar just never moves and the uninstall progress window doesn't go away. Ive tried downloading the CS4 clean up script to properly uninstall and that failed to work also. When I try running the CS4InstallerDatabaseUtility, like instructed, it tells me that I need to install it first. To my knowledge that IS the install file according to the readme file and the online instructions and as there are no other files that can run in the .zip that I downloaded. If I try to install it it goes through the entire process, then when its complete it tells me that it wasnt installed properly. I feel stuck as I cannot get rid of it, fix it, or reinstall it. Brand new and it did work fine before I tried to uninstall it. If I try running photoshop or illustrator it says its missing components.
Running Win 7 with a student edition or CS4

I bet Revo Uninstaller Pro will do the job for you. It is a powerful replacement for Add/Remove Programs, with excellent reviews. Here's a quote from the User Guide: "Even if you have a broken installation, Revo Uninstaller Pro scans for an application's data on your hard disk drives and in the Windows registry and shows all found files, folders and registry keys so you can delete them." I was immediately able to use it to completely remove two programs I've been wanting to get rid of for some time.
If there is a usable uninstaller on your system, this program will find it, run it, show you any left-over files and registry keys, and offer to delete any or all of them. Otherwise, it can do a forced uninstall one CS4 app at a time. By default, it creates a system restore point and a complete registry backup before attempting any uninstall. After it finishes, you should be ready to try your CS4 installation again.
If you can manage the $39.95 on a student budget, the program is well worth it, because you'll use it for a lot more than cleaning up after a botched CS4 installation.

Uninstalling Photoshop CS4 from a Mac with Yosemite, which cannot open CS4.

I have Photoshop CS4 installed on a Mac. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and now am not able to open it. The Java OS that is recommended to solve the problem refuses to download. Thus I would like uninstall Photoshop CS4 but cannot do so. Please help from your end. It is my MacBook Pro 13". I DO NOT want to uninstall it from my MacBook Pro 17". Only from my 13" Can you help me?

Ok. That should be fine. There is a CS/CC Cleaner tool as well. It removes installation records according to the description.

Uninstall Dreamweaver w/o Uninstalling CS4

I need to uninstall and reinstall Dreamweaver, but when I go to Add or Remove Programs my only option is to uninstall CS4 altogether. Is there a way to get to a screen that allows me to simply uninstall Dreamweaver and reinstall just it? Thanks.

I am not sure how it works with cs4, but with cs3 I selected the uninstall ( and the next choice was the components. I had to uninstall Acrobat 8 and reistall it and I had the choice after setup started.
If you choose to uninstall Adobe Suite, once setup starts, you can select the component to uninstall. If you only unistall one thing, you should not have to "deactivate" the suite. Once it is removed, then you can go through the same process to put it back on your computer. Make sure you save your site definitions (site/manage sites/Export) and do them one at a time to a location to import them back in.
